Sweet and Tart Zucchini Slaw

Are you one of those people that is always on the lookout for new recipes to use up that abundance of zucchini in the garden? Yeah, me too. When you have a delicious recipe like this one to use up that summer veggie, you might start to look at that abundance in a new light.

I think you'll find crunchy raw vegetables tossed with a sweet and tart dressing a winning combination of tastes and texture. The addition of poppy seeds provides a unique twist. Serve it as a light salad for lunch or as a side dish to a barbecue dinner. It is certainly a nice change from the classic creamy slaw (always a favorite). This slaw is best eaten soon after it is made because the vegetables will start to release moisture as the mixture sits. That being said, the leftovers are still tasty. They just lose some crunch.
